Platform Overview
Run reliable signage and kiosks today, with room to grow into custom, data‑driven experiences
Make Screens Part of Your Product
TelemetryOS is a platform for connected screens, kiosks and screen based applications. Start with the familiar: playlists, schedules, overrides, and proof‑of‑play—to run reliable content across every location.
Everything you expect is built in: media libraries, tagging, device groups, role‑based access, and compliance reporting.
Advanced requirements support interactivity and data integration. The platform deploys custom experiences with React/TypeScript and @telemetryos/sdk, sensor and system connectivity, all managed from a unified console.
Why TelemetryOS Exists
Because screen needs change. Most teams start with playlists. Later they want data‑aware menus, queue boards, or self‑service. TelemetryOS lets you do both without switching platforms.
Operationally, it keeps things simple: predictable hardware, offline resilience, built‑in CDN and proof‑of‑play, and clear rollback paths. You move faster with fewer moving parts.
What Makes TelemetryOS Different
TelemetryOS brings a few principles together:
- Signage‑first, app‑capable: Playlists, schedules, overrides, templates—with optional custom app support.
- One console, one player: Content, devices, templates, and applications in a single platform.
- Reliable at scale: Node Pro, offline caching, resilient recovery, consistent 4K playback.
- Optional Git‑to‑screen: React/TypeScript development with
@telemetryos/sdk, supporting preview, staged rollout, and instant rollback. - Extensive integrations: APIs, webhooks, MQTT, serial, and POS/data connections.
- Governed and observable: SSO, RBAC, logs, metrics, proof‑of‑play, and audit trails.
- Built‑in video delivery: Integrated CDN with adaptive bitrate and offline caching.
- Future‑ready: Edge capabilities for computer vision and AI.
Platform Architecture
TelemetryOS consists of three integrated layers that work together seamlessly. At the edge, Node Pro hardware provides reliable 4K playback, rich I/O capabilities, and offline operation. The runtime layer includes TelemetryOS Edge and TOS Player, offering a secure operating system, hardware abstraction, and application sandboxing. In the cloud, a managed Platform as a Service handles fleet management, app deployment, monitoring, and content delivery.
Real-World Applications
TelemetryOS powers diverse use cases across industries:
Gaming & Hospitality
Casinos tie game events to synchronized displays. Jackpots trigger lights, audio, and on-floor screens. Wayfinding steers guests to open tables. Property teams run promotions across gaming, retail, and hospitality from one schedule.
QSR & Retail
Menus adapt to inventory and daypart automatically. Guided selling apps promote bundles at the counter. Entrance displays shift content based on weather or local events. All managed from a single console.
Healthcare
Kiosks handle secure check-in and queue management. Wall screens display real-time operations data. Emergency alerts preempt scheduled content and clear on acknowledgment.
Manufacturing & Logistics
Control rooms show real-time KPIs. Shift screens pull tasks from work management tools. Safety systems trigger immediate alerts across the facility.
Development Philosophy
TelemetryOS embraces modern software practices for screen applications:
Application-First, Not Template-Based
Build real applications using React, TypeScript, and the @telemetryos/sdk. Access device hardware through secure APIs. Create custom business logic, not just layouts.

Progressive Complexity
Start simple with ready-made applications, then progressively add capabilities:
- Ready-Made Apps → Weather, calendars, notice boards
- Low-Code Customization → Modify templates with visual tools
- Full Development → Build custom applications with the SDK
- Advanced Integration → IoT sensors, AI models, external systems
Enterprise-Grade Foundation
TelemetryOS delivers reliability and security for enterprise deployments through SOC 2 certification, SAML SSO authentication, role-based access control, audit logging, and data residency options. Operational excellence features include 99.9% uptime SLA, real-time fleet monitoring, automated failover, instant rollbacks, and 24/7 support availability.
Who Benefits from TelemetryOS
Developers benefit by building with familiar web technologies like React and TypeScript, deploying applications to screens as easily as deploying to the web, and accessing hardware capabilities through secure, documented APIs.
IT teams can manage thousands of devices from a single console with enterprise security controls, compliance certifications, and operational monitoring built in from day one.
System integrators connect screens to existing business systems without brittle custom code, using pre-built integrations for common platforms and comprehensive APIs for custom solutions.
Business teams own screen outcomes without technical dependencies, deploying content and applications through intuitive interfaces while measuring impact with built-in analytics.
